3 JPMorgan Mutual Funds for Stable Returns

JPMorgan is a financial services firm located in New York City. It manages $2.5 trillion in assets under management. JP Morgan mutual funds offered by JPMorgan consist of diversified portfolios that are overseen by experienced fund managers. They offer over 220 investment strategies to ensure diversification. All these make JPMorgan’s mutual funds trustworthy investment opportunities.

Investing in JP Morgan mutual funds seems to be judicious as of now. Also, mutual funds, in general, diversify portfolios without several commission charges that are mainly associated with stock purchases and trim transaction costs (read more: Mutual Funds: Advantages, Disadvantages, and How They Make Investors Money).

We have, thus, chosen three JP Morgan mutual funds that investors should buy now for the long term. These funds possess a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), have positive three-year and five-year annualized returns, minimum initial investments within $5000, and expense ratios considerably lower than the category average. So, these funds have given a comparatively strong performance along with lower fees.

JPMorgan U.S. Equity Fund JUSRX invests most of its assets, along with borrowings, if any, in common stocks of large- and medium-capitalization U.S. companies. JUSRX advisors also invest a small portion of its net assets in common stocks of foreign companies, including depositary receipts.
